A model 3 actually weighs the same as a base model F150.

  When's the last time you saw a base model F150? Almost all F150s either have crew or extended cab, a bigger engine, bling, etc. And the OP asked about RAM, which is ~1000 pounds heavier, mostly due to its steel frame rather than the aluminum bodied F150.

    > When's the last time you saw a base model F150? About five minutes ago. I see them all the time, practically every day I go outside. > Almost all F150s either have crew or extended cab, a bigger engine, bling, etc. All of that still doesn't double the weight. And yeah the RAM is heavier from the start, but still its not twice as heavy even with a lot of those options. The curb weight of the heaviest RAM is < 6,000lbs, the lighest Model 3 is a bit over 3,600lbs. 3,600 * 2 = 7,200, and 7,200 > 6,000. And the heavier 3 is 4,200lbs, 4,200 * 2 = 8,400, and once again 8,400 > 6,000. The claim here was that trucks are twice as heavy as Model 3's. An average Model 3 isn't that much lighter than most trucks. Far from half the weight.

      The lightest model 3 is up to 4,000lbs or so since the switch to LFP batteries on the standard range model 3
